Don't leave Martin alone tonight
|
Just because he looks all right
|
I've seen him look like this before
|
And if he says he wants to be alone
|
At least try to walk with him home
|
See if you can put your foot in the door
|
|
Don't leave Martin alone tonight
|
Keep him talking until daylight
|
This time well I think he's coming through
|
|
Don't leave Martin alone tonight
|
Just because he looks all right
|
He's only gotta pick up the phone
|
Now one of them guys in the car will be around
|
And give him just enough on account
|
They know that he'll be back for more.
|
|
Don't leave Martin alone tonight
|
Keep him talking until daylight
|
This time well I think he's coming through.
|
|
Now he's trying to show he's cool, but I know him
|
I ain't fooling
|
And because you love him he's bound to lie
|
When this time he's got so close
|
Now's the time to be scared the most
|
He's looking everywhere but in your eyes.
|
|
So don't leave Martin alone tonight
|
Keep him talking until daylight
|
This time well I think he's coming through.
|
|
'S endless coffee and cigarettes
|
Now don't take it hard when he says
|
He doesn't need you cos that's when he needs you most
|
He'll cry till he laughs and laugh till he weeps
|
And suddenly he'll fall asleep
|
Then you can let your own eyes close
|
|
Don't leave Martin alone tonight
|
Keep him talking until daylight
|
This time well I think he's coming through
|
This time I think he's coming through.
